Biographical Note

Bernard Haldane is widely recognized as the key innovator in the field
of career development.

Born on May 15, 1911, Haldane was raised in England. In 1927, he
received the First Certificate at the Royal College of Surgeons. Haldane then
relocated to the United States. When he learned that the medical establishment
of New York would not accept his British "pre-med" certificate, Haldane decided
to pursue a different career path.

Haldane worked several odd jobs in New York, where he developed an
interest in writing and labor relations. He served as the Associate Editor of
the
New York Journal of Commerce and studied
management at Columbia University and New York University. He worked as a labor
relations consultant and was a member of the Society for the Advancement of
Management (SAM). After World War II, SAM asked Haldane to help returning
military officers obtain jobs as they transitioned back to civilian life. This
project marked the beginning of what would be Haldane's life work.

At this time, Haldane formed the Executive Job Counselors Service
(EJCS) as an umbrella organization for his new career counseling and placement
business. The EJCS philosophy was simple: "People who enjoy their work, do it
better." As such, Haldane strived to develop a counseling technique to help
people discover their strengths in order to find the type of work that would
make them happy, valued employees. In 1947, his article, "A Pattern for
Executive Placement," was published in the
Harvard Business Review. The publication
of this article signified acceptance of Haldane's work by the American business
community. Haldane believed that if workers were happy and satisfied in their
jobs, they would produce a higher volume and higher quality of work. Haldane's
success with veterans convinced him that these methods would be beneficial to
individuals and organizations alike.

In 1947, Haldane also formed Bernard Haldane Associates (BHA) as a job
counseling firm. BHA filled a rising demand from individuals seeking job
counseling and organizations seeking help with personnel issues. BHA offices
were opened in New York and shortly thereafter in Philadelphia, Boston, and
Washington, D.C. Subsequent BHA offices have been opened in cities throughout
the United States and abroad.

In order to institutionalize his process and make it widely available,
Haldane developed manuals for career counselors to help individuals examine
their life experiences to uncover talents and their own unique pattern of
skills. Haldane developed the System to Identify Motivated Skills (SIMS) and
Success Factor Analysis (SFA) as two such methods. Haldane also authored
fourteen books on the subject of job searches and career changes, including
Career Satisfaction and Success,
How to Make a Habit of Success, and
Job Power.

In 1961, Haldane created a non-profit organization, the Foundation for
Re-Employment, to assist public institutions, government agencies, religious,
and civic groups with their employment and personnel needs. Haldane devoted
considerable time and energy to this not-for-profit complement to his other job
counseling endeavors.

During his long career, Haldane served a broad range of clients,
including the Harvard Business School, United States Atomic Energy Commission,
the United States Peace Corps, the United States Forest Service, several large
corporations, dozens of educational and religious organizations, and hundreds
of individual clients. Haldane was recognized by Presidents Eisenhower,
Kennedy, and Johnson, primarily for his work with young people and
disadvantaged adults.

In 1966, Haldane met Jean Kind, who had emigrated from England for
work. The couple married in 1967. That same year, Haldane moved his
headquarters from New York City to Washington, D.C.. There, Haldane oversaw BHA
operations while Jean worked on staff at the Episcopal Diocese of Washington.
Together, Jean and Bernard translated Haldane's identification of talents and
skills aimed at job-finding to the church setting. They provided consultations,
workshops, and training for clergy and lay leaders around the world.

In 1974, Bernard Haldane formally retired from Bernard Haldane
Associates and sold the company to individuals within the organization. The
company still exists and operates under that name, with approximately 100
offices in the United States and abroad. As part of the sales agreement,
Haldane agreed to work only with organizational clients and to cease individual
client counseling. With the sale of BHA, Haldane was free to pursue related
interests and research. Haldane's work focused primarily on religious,
educational and youth groups and major organizational clients, such as the
United States Forest Service, after 1974.

In 1977, Bernard and Jean Haldane relocated to Seattle, Washington. In
his retirement, Haldane expanded his research and writing to focus on young
adults, teens, deprived youth, and church ministry. He developed the Dependable
Strengths Articulation (DSA) process as a result of his decades of job
counseling and research. DSA was developed to help individuals identify their
strengths and motivated skills in order to become more productive, achieve
higher degrees of job satisfaction and develop self-esteem.

Bernard and Jean Haldane worked on various projects and conducted many
leadership training sessions using the Dependable Strengths philosophy. In
1987, Bernard met Jerald Forster, a professor at the University of Washington's
College of Education, who was interested in understanding why the DSA process
was so effective. Thus began a 15 year research and learning collaboration
between Haldane and the College of Education, known as the Dependable Strengths
Project. The DSA process has been applied in colleges, high schools, WorkFirst
job search training programs, with prisoners, in churches, non-profit
organizations, youth groups, government agencies, and assisted living
centers.

In 1997, Bernard and Jean Haldane began to explore how the Dependable
Strengths process might be applied in other parts of the world. The couple took
a long sabbatical and travelled to six countries, including South Africa. The
Haldane's project was warmly received by the Anglican Bishop of Johannesburg,
where the Dependable Strengths Foundation was established as a non-profit
organization in 2003.

Bernard Haldane died in Seattle, Washington, on July 21, 2002, at the
age of 91.

Arrangement

Arranged into 6 series:

Personal and business records, 1927-2004

Client files to 1974, 1944-1978

Client files since 1975, 1975-2002

Project files, 1946-2002

Writings, 1933-2000

Writings of others, 1952-2001

Scope and Content

The Bernard Haldane Papers contain business records, personal papers,
client files, Haldane's writings, and the writings of others. The majority of
the material is from 1946 to 2000. This collection documents Haldane's long and
prolific career, including the early years of Haldane's efforts at career
counseling and the formation of his businesses, Executive Job Counselors and
Bernard Haldane Associates, as well as his non-profit endeavors, the Foundation
for Re-Employment, the Dependable Strengths Project and the Dependable
Strengths Institute.

Because Haldane was the leader in the field of job placement and
career counseling, these papers document the formation and changes in the
history of this field, and reflect Haldane's methods and theories employed in
job counseling and the changes in those methods over several decades of work.
His many manuals, articles, drafts and promotional materials also offer insight
into Haldane's perspectives and promotional methods.

Scope and Content:
This series contains client files after 1974. This series contains
records from the last several decades of Haldane's job counseling work after he
had sold Bernard Haldane Associates to colleagues and formally retired from the
organizations. The files include biographical questionnaires, resumes, and Job
Power reports, as well as Haldane's notes about clients, correspondence, and
material he created for specific organizational clients. It also includes
programs for workshops and consulting engagements, feedback reports and
evaluations of Haldane's services, as well as testimonials written by clients.
The materials in this series provide insight into Haldane's counseling methods
during the latter half of his career, when he worked almost exclusively with
